With decades of research and advances in technology, artificial organs have become the viable alternative to effectively address donor organ shortage problem. Besides sustaining life and minimizing disease burden, artificial organs have been playing a crucial role in enhancing patient's quality of life. Additionally, artificial organs are not only enhancing patient outcomes and accelerating recovery times, but also minimizing overall healthcare expenditure. However, only few implantable devices have been approved for clinical use, while several others are still in clinical trials awaiting approvals. With increasing number of patients suffering from late-stage diseases, organ failure has been accounting for the largest chunk of worldwide medical spending. On the other hand, the rising success rate of transplantation has been dramatically fuelling organ failure patients to opt for artificial organs. However, as organ recipients continue to rise, patient population on the waiting list is also expanding. The imbalance between number of receivers and donor organs has compelled the healthcare sector to search for other alternatives. These and other market data and trends are presented in "Artificial Organs: Worldwide Market Challenges & Opportunities" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.

Artificial Organs - Worldwide Market Challenges & Opportunities
Published on November 2009
Report Summary
With decades of research and advances in technology, artificial organs have become the viable alternative to effectively address
donor organ shortage problem. Besides sustaining life and minimizing disease burden, artificial organs have been playing a crucial
role in enhancing patient's quality of life. Additionally, artificial organs are not only enhancing patient outcomes and accelerating
recovery times, but also minimizing overall healthcare expenditure. However, only few implantable devices have been approved for
clinical use, while several others are still in clinical trials awaiting approvals.
With increasing number of patients suffering from late-stage diseases, organ failure has been accounting for the largest chunk of
worldwide medical spending. On the other hand, the rising success rate of transplantation has been dramatically fuelling organ failure
patients to opt for artificial organs. However, as organ recipients continue to rise, patient population on the waiting list is also
expanding. The imbalance between number of receivers and donor organs has compelled the healthcare sector to search for other
alternatives.
These and other market data and trends are presented in "Artificial Organs: Worldwide Market Challenges & Opportunities" by
